This post will be about creating animations from the photographs I take in nature. The title Re-animation of the Stopped Motion very simply describes my process of how I am trying to work this out. The photographs I´ve taken, and […]

I continue to turn up at the studio, and today it was nice to not know what I would be doing before I got there. Or perhaps it is more accurate to say that I was not already thinking about […]
This Friday, 3rd July 2020, will mark the 25th Anniversary of my father’s death. Even though it’s been this long, it’s only now that I feel able to talk about him and to remember the man that he was and […]
Function/Error is a performative experiment on the impossibility of completing a task due to the health and safety regulations on ladder usage. The impractical safety rules forced a humorous response that involves the performance of a useless action.
5 months has passed between the first blog post and this one, its an enormous amount of time and the project is progressing at snails pace. Its not for lack of attempting to work, and there has been a lot […]
A dialogue with artist-writer Emma Cocker. Also as a spectator. She talked about leaning as sometimes a hard thing to do, especially for women. To be independent is to be strong, as good desirable and dependent as weak. But to […]
Marl, in the height of its use in agriculture, was commonly described as a treatment for ‘exhausted soil’. It was not therefore recommended as a general accelerant or helpful addition to healthy, fertile land. It was rather, applied in times […]

So, I’ve been doing more research drawings and have been having fun using free paper samples and found tools – namely twigs. I’m not sure how I will use the observational drawings but they are an indispensable way for me to […]

I’m surprised at how quickly I’ve got over that feeling at the end of the MA of falling off a cliff. It seemed to take much longer after the BA. Maybe it was having to go straight into the one […]

Ebony and Ivory This project focuses on the effect and the invert of the black and white images, by using Adobe Photoshop to help me make this possible, and I have focus on recreation, by using the subject matters that […]
